| episode_narrative | A strengthening low pressure trough aloft over Southern California produced winter storm conditions in the mountains, and scattered convective showers of rain and small hail over the lower elevations. Snow fell as low as 2000 feet locally, while elevations above 5500 feet saw between 8 and 18 of snow, along with strong, gusty winds resulting in occasional white-out conditions. Heaviest snowfall observed was 18 inches in the San Jacinto Mountains at Pine Cove, although ski resorts at higher elevations reported as much as 3 feet of powder. Local hail storms turned the ground white in a few coastal spots. In Laguna Niguel, hail up to one half inch in diameter piled up 2 inches deep during a storm that hit shortly before noon. Just before the storm, a waterspout was sighted southwest of Laguna Beach. |
